Garland Ranch Regional Park
700 W. Carmel Valley Road, Carmel Valley (831) 372-3196, mprpd.org/garland-ranch-regional-park
Whether it’s a hike up a redwood-lined canyon, a jaunt to a waterfall, a leisurely walk along Carmel River or a steep climb up to Snively’s Ridge, Garland Ranch has the right kind of hike for everybody – and every dog – including those who want to do all of the above in a single outing. The sheer quantity of trails make finding solitude a cinch, and the breathtaking views from the ridgetops provide a singular vantage of the Ventana Wilderness.
